american virgin

It's time in fandomland to start pre-judging - see the DC March solicits -- There are 12 Batman family comics, 5 Superman; and how about the new Busiak Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis?

One that caught my eye: VERTIGOAMERICAN VIRGIN #1 Written by Steven T. SeagleArt by Becky CloonanCover by Frank Quitely

YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR FIRST TIME…Adam Chamberlain is a 20-year-old youth minister, a best-selling author, and most important, the head of a rabid national virginity movement. But practicing virgin or not...Adam is about to lose it.Just a few weeks shy of marrying the girl of his dreams — the only woman God has said he can ever know sexually — Adam's fate, future and sex life are cast in direct opposition with God's Word.Like Y: THE LAST MAN, the series follows one man’s dark quest into unknown territories — geographically and emotionally.

A shocking terrorist act casts Adam adrift in exotic locales not so easily managed by a slick image, a clever comeback or the Good Book. Adam is forced to confront head-on the very rifts we all feel between our carnal desires and whatever higher power we answer to. Will Adam’s first time be his last?

AMERICAN VIRGIN will be previewed in Y: THE LAST MAN #41 and includes a bonus interview with the creators. Erotically charged covers for the series will be created by the inimitable Eisner Award-winning artist Frank Quitely (WE3, ALL STAR SUPERMAN).On sale March 8 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • MATURE READERS Edited by Shelly Bond
